Franco’s Hair Studio

Every man needs a good barber/​stylist in his corner. Someone that will listen, tell you when you’re wrong (either about your hair or your life), and help you look your best. Franco has cut my hair before big job interviews, a brother’s wedding, and a number of other important life events. You «wear» your hair everyday (at least until you’re bald); do yourself a favor and go to the best and then stick with them for as long as you can. I’d recommend Franco.

I wanted to get a haircut for my 18months boy and I was very skeptical about letting someone use scissors as my boy would not sit still in one place being the toddler he is. but Ashley at Franco was great. She let him sit on my lap so that he would be comfortable and she have him an amazing haircut. She took her time and was very patient with my little one.
Its a complete transformation. I would totally Recommend this place for a Kids haircut and Yes they even have a 20% discount if you check-​in through Unilocal .The haircut cost me just about $ 20 .total win !!

I have been going here for several years. The stylists are very good and the price is a bargain. What more do you want. Oh, they always seem pleasant.

I love that this place is down to earth and easy to get an appointment. Ashley is great! She’s super friendly, and I’ve been very happy with how my cuts has turned out.

New in town and don’t know where to cut your hair? Go to Franco’s and ask for Ashley. She is fantastic! She has already cut my hair three times and this last time we also did some highlights. She listens, understands and always knows what suits you.
I think Franco’s salon is a great place. Really nice people and you can see that they like what they do.

Best experience I’ve ever had in a haircut place! The place is super hip and Franco is the nicest guy in the world. Dawn also gave me an excellent haircut! The service was like none other. I highly recommend

This is a great place for a HIP MEN’s HAIRCUT. I was looking for a good place that wouldn’t just give me a standard cut and I found it! For a reasonable price too. Franco does wonders. Don’t forget to get the 20% discount your first time there. Highly recommended for guys looking for a non-​standard haircut.

I got a cut with Juli, who was recommended to me and has great reviews on Unilocal.I talked with her about my hair, how I was growing it out from a pixie and it had JUST gotten long enough to put up, and how my curly hair would spring up and be even shorter, and how we would keep the length and cut only longer blended layers. I thought we were on the same page. I didn’t realize until it dried, that she had chopped an entire layer around the top of my head to about 2 inches long. The pieces are literally sticking out of my head like little corkscrews, and have no connection to the rest of the haircut. The tiny pieces she cut in the front are not able to fully curl because they are too short, and they are just sticking to my face. I can’t put my hair up at all anymore, as the entire top layer just sticks out and isn’t long enough to tie. This isn’t the worst haircut I’ve EVER had, but it’s pretty close. When you’re growing out your hair from a very short cut, it takes a ton of patience and waiting, and now I’ve been set back another 4 or 5 months.
Juli was very nice and seemed to know her stuff but my hair looks terrible and I really really hate it, so… two stars. =/

Went to get my haircut for the first time here today, and was completely pleased with my entire experience. Despite being a new customer, I was greeted by name by multiple staff members and felt very welcome the entire visit. The man who cut my hair understood what I wanted very quickly and went right to work. In the end, I got one of the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten. Friendly, knowledgeable and talented staff make this a place I would recommend to anyone.

Franco’s is great and his prices are awesome! Really appreciate all the cuts.

In the all time ranking of girls, I would be close to the bottom in terms of excitement when it comes to my hair, but I still relish a good cut. I’ve danced around a few salons in the area, but never found the one. Franco’s is definitely it from now on though.
I had a cut and blow dry with Juli, who was perfection. Fit me in the same day I called and first and foremost, was quick, efficient and a talented stylist. But! She was so much more. Full of hair care, product and styling tips, fun to talk to, had awesome hair and tattoos herself. She was super attentive to my cut and all the little nuances that come with how my hair falls/​how I like to style it, I’m so happy with it. The ultimate highlight though, was the blow out. No question, the blow out she gave me after my cut was the BEST I have ever gotten — not even the infamous blow dry bars compared. Now I know if I have a big event, I’m going straight back to her. And she didn’t try to up sell any products, which I loved.
The salon itself is great, small and intimate and I was greeted and seated immediately. In and out within an hour, which is great for a wash, cut and blow dry with the amount of hair I have. I’ll be back as soon as I can.

I have been in Cambridge for about 3 months. And I have been to couple of salons but I always left with a feeling to never be back in that Salon. But my experience at Franco’s was just awesome. Even though I was little late, I was not turned back and I got one of the best hair cut and 20 percent discount because of my first visit.
I finally found an awesome place for the haircut.

Seriously, Ashley is amazing.
I went to her back in June and she cut off about 16″ of my hair, and it was the best cut of my life. After being super attached to my long hair, I thought I was going to regret my decision but I was wrong. She was really cool and did a great job.
I got my hair cut over the weekend by someone else and wasn’t totally satisfied with it, so I called and Franco was very accommodating and got me an appointment at a time convenient for me. I just went in and Ashley was able to fix my hair and make me happy with it again. I went from having hair anxiety to being totally satisfied! She even remembered me from when I went in on June.
She’s super talented and deserves the recognition!

26 year old male here. Franco has been cutting my hair for over 3 years, and I’ve had a great experience every time. After a few cuts I asked for recommendations on a different look, and he showed me a style that worked very well. His shop is always clean and his staff are always friendly. I recommend Franco’s Hair Studio enthusiastically.

This is the best bob haircut I’ve ever gotten, and I’ve gotten plenty! Added bonus that the person who cut my hair was fast, friendly, and careful. I’m definitely coming back again.

At my last appointment I brought two photos of hair coloring that I liked. My stylist gave me partial foil highlights, which were fine, but looked nothing like the photos I brought. I later learned that the style I wanted was balayage, which is not a service that Franco’s offers. I wish my stylist had been up front about the difference between what I wanted and what I was getting.
I’ve also had two scheduling snafus with the receptionist. Once the salon cancelled my appointment day of (because of stylist illness) without leaving me a message. Another time I called on Wednesday and booked a Friday appointment, but she put it in the computer for Thursday.
On the plus side, all the cuts I’ve gotten at Franco’s are great.

Came to get my hair & make up done here. I had the best experience ever. I had a vision of what I wanted my hair & make up to be & Ashley & John made it a reality for me. I couldn’t imagine a better experience. They are my new glam squad. I’ll never go anywhere else to get a style or my make up done. I can’t express how good of a job they did. Truly grateful for this experience. I couldn’t imagine my hair & make up coming out any better.

highly recommend!
michael!
will be back!

I’m not, by any means, a connoisseur of hair nor hair salons — I’m lazy with my hair and usually get it cut at a cheap place 2 or 3 times per year. With that said, I’m writing here because I was actually pleased with my haircut (I usually leave a hair salon very frustrated) and the price!
My hair stylist was Juli and she was very nice to me, giving me a head massage during the shampooing, chit chatting and recommending products for my super-​fine hair. I love the cut, which again, is a rare phenomenon. Also, the place has a a nice, calming atmosphere inside — I love the fishes :). All in all, I’m happy I found this salon (and did so through Unilocal!), so I’m returning the favor and leaving a nice review.
I’ll definitely be returning to this place!

First, Franco you are amazing! So friendly, so welcoming, so happy! And you remember everyone too which is so so great!
This salon is a pretty big salon, especially for this area of Inman, and I am definitely glad I finally checked this place out! Went here for pedicures and they were great! The chairs are comfy, the service is so accommodating, great conversation, and they have nail polish dryers you can use afterward that underneath a giant fish tank! What is cooler than letting your nails dry while you stare at a bunch of fish? It is like a lava lamp for adults or people who like fish, which I do. I haven’t had that at any other salon I’ve been to, so yay for Franco’s!
Plus they do male pedicures here and for all of you men out there who have been wanting to get one but have been too chicken because they are amazing (woman’s best secret ha) this place will make you feel right at home. I promise you! Plus, my boyfriend gets his hair cut here now too and their men’s haircuts are so cheap! And he always comes home looking nice and clean cut :-)
So thanks, Franco!!! We will definitely keep coming back!
